Windows 11 will soon feature an integrated RGB control software for your PC lighting

[WYP]

Finally, a standardised RGB control solution for PC builders.

I don't mind having separate software for peripherals like mice, Keyboards etc... but when I need 3 or more separate pieces of software just to change the lights on my components to the same colour it's unnecessary bloat.

I wish software developers from Asus, Corsair, Gigabyte, MSI etc... would have a meeting and agree on using a single standard instead of having dozens of different programs.

Maybe have a main launcher made by 1 neutral non hardware company and then each hardware vendor makes a plugin for that launcher for their products.

I can't remember which one it is, it might be corsair, but one of the big players has well over a gigabyte download.
If that's not bloat I don't know what is.
Ridiculous


Just checked, yes it's iCue @ 1.1GB all to change the colour of my water pump LED
Why can't these things be added to the bios?

Well there was a paid software you linked me long ago, which allowed control over all RGB of all brands and it worked very well until the trial ran out for me. It was overpriced though for what it was. However if its only RGB you wanted as an all in one solution, then 1 software is the way to go.

My issue is the need for peripheral software which is obviously unavoidable if having some MMO Corsair mouse and a Razer KB for example. But still... one software to rule them all makes my taskbar running process list happy

I somewhat understand why corsairs is as bloated as it is, i do feel the rgb is a small part of that compared to all the other things it's doing, i guess it depends on how much your using corsair.

this app ms is making is just about rgb.

I'd still need 5 apps for my gear regardless and that all works, maybe from a lighting standpoint it'll do the job well, but it's not like your still not need them apps but maybe have a more central hub.

So while a good thing, tbh in my view it's just yet another app, so unless it does similar to corsair murals then i dont see how it makes any real change to what we are already using.

This is a feature that should have been around years ago.

Are you referring to SignalRGB?...

Are you referring to SignalRGB?...

Maybe, not sure. This was a long time ago even before Win 11 was released.

 

[Gothmoth]

most useless feature for me.

Yeah, SignalRGB existed before 11 I believe as well

Probably was that one then.
